America has the best military ever, and it's largely Anglo-Saxons. But there were plenty of times in the past when Anglo-Saxons weren't as good. Like at the height of the Roman Empire, when the Romans were the best, and the Anglo-Saxons were just a bunch of savages.

Do some research, history tells the story, where were the Anglo-Saxon/Germanic peoples when the Spartans were fighting the Persians? They don't fight like that! How about the fights the American Indians waged and won against the Whites, the A-S/G don't fight like that. To the victor comes the spoils, so you really don't get the real story. Read "THE ART OF WAR" by Sun Tzu. That was a master of the art of warfare and he was ( gulp ) ASIAN.

Well yes, historically percentage wise it is true. But keep in mind that in the last 300 years most major conflicts have been between Anglo-Saxon/Germanic men on both sides so no matter who wins, it’s Anglo-Saxon/Germanic men.

Only from a Euro-Centric point of view.
We can pretty well ignore the Celts, the Irish, the Viet Namese, the Samurai, the Chinese, the Sihks, the Janasarries, the Ancient Eygptians, the Sioux, the Kiowa, the Iroquois, the Spartans, and the Romans.
And the Gurkha (Thanks).

Caused the fall of the greatest empire the world has ever seen, so maybe. I'd be pretty proud if we were.

Well the Huns forced them to migrate west, so I would say no, not even close.
